Nana's visit
The last couple weeks, we enjoyed a visit from Nana, Josh's mom. She split her time between here and Sucre as she came down for a ladies conference in Sucre, a children's workshop here in Coch., and of course much needed time with her 5 Bolvian grandkids! Jenny, Erik and the cousins came to Coch. for a few days too. Here are some pictures from our time together.

Recent Ministry Events
It has been a very busy month - on top of our regular ministry activities, we've had several special events too. Josh has said he feels like he's hardly had time to breath! And thanks to Josh's mom, we finally have a camara again to start recording memories!! I'm so excited to be able to take pictures again.
The month started out with a church 'retiro' - or mini retreat. We rented out a pool/recreation center for the day and had a great time of fellowship and food. This was the first church event that Miguel came to (see previous blog) and it was wonderful to see him and his family.
We started a monthly 'girls night out', and I put together the craft and the devotional focusing around our uniqueness and unity in Christ.
The guys had their monthly 'guys night out', and enjoyed the presence of Miguel as well as celebrating Gaston's birthday.
We held our annual ladies tea on the 26th, and had almost 60 women in attendance. Our theme focused on the Samaritan woman at the well, and our spiritual thirst for Christ. Trish did a fantastic job on the decorations and the craft! Mary Torres, one of the missionary women in Sucre, came to give the talk. She was very open with us about her life and how Christ has changed her and her family. A lot of our women put in a lot of hours working on invitations, nametags, the craft, the food, the decorations, and the testimonies. We continue to pray for wisdom as to how to draw the women of the congregation into a closer walk with Christ and fellowship with each other.

We were so excited with our attendance - and over half were friends of family of our church members!

Our welcoming table - Alejandra, Gabriella and Pocha
One of the many beautifully decorated tables
Patricia and Beatrice, 2 of our indespensible helpers in the kitchen
The next day, Sharla and Trish gave a workshop on teaching children. Josh's mom did a fabulous job providing a theological base for teaching children and Trish shared about her class for the toddlers, which has been a huge success! We are hoping to get more people excited and involved in our children's program, and I think this was a great start.
